Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To improve the quality of life for the citizens of the San Luis Valley.

Our Values

We welcome diversity in staff and services; believe in working as family and modeling community.

We are committed to making the San Luis Valley a place where people are proud of their roots and heritage.

We are united by a profound respect for human dignity, by a desire to serve the underrepresented, the disenfranchised and those who suffer from mental distress.

We believe people deserve excellence in the services we provide and utilize a holistic, preventative approach that supports people’s lives, strengthens families, nurtures our youth and empowers people.

We are progressive pioneers that utilize change to find innovative methods of meeting the needs of people including making services accessible to people where they live.

We believe our work should be fulfilling and satisfying. We strive to offer personal and professional development and provide leadership opportunities.

We stand on a legacy of activism that rests on a firm understanding that economic strength is the basis for self-determination. Therefore, we incorporate good business practices to ensure stability and continuity for our services.

During our organization’s history we have built our system to ensure the survival and vitality of mental health services in the San Luis Valley. We have continued over the last 30 years to develop new programs and services to increase clinical quality and improve service and efficiency.

We share skills and resources with other agencies in the San Luis Valley and the State of Colorado to build stronger programming and alliances.
